Chapter Fifty-Six: One Against Three
In the evening, the breeze was blowing in the grove not far from the caravan camp, and Han Yu, who came here with Zhang Zhimo, suddenly heard the sound of trampling on the branches on the ground not far away, and pulled the panicked Zhang Zhimo aside to dodge, listening to the creaking sound getting closer and closer, Han Yu, who was holding the crossbow tightly, aimed at the direction of the sound, and pressed the trigger to prepare for it.
Generally speaking, it is not strange that there are wild beasts in such woods, but as long as it is not a black bear or a big cat, Han Yu is completely sure that he will kill it, and it is not easy to mess with the tall black good horse who is leisurely eating grass outside, and it is not easy to mess with it, I learned from others that on the night when the evil wolf attacked before, one of the evil wolves was kicked to death by the hind hooves of Xian Li, if it was an ordinary beast, I am afraid that Han Yu would not need to take action.
It's just that it is not a beast that comes out of not far away, but a person, this person has thick eyebrows and big eyes, about his early forties, he doesn't look tall, he is wearing a new gray cloth coat, but it doesn't look like it fits, he is holding a big knife to open the way, scolding and slapping the mosquitoes that fall on his body, and suddenly he saw a tall horse not far away, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head and shouted loudly behind him: "Zhou Laosan, come and see, there is a good horse here!" ”
"Big eyes, you old guy is talking nonsense!" There was a slightly annoyed cry from the woods behind, obviously full of anger at the middle-aged man who was walking in front of him, and he was still in the mood to joke, "The second master has explained, let me step on an idea as much as possible, and it will not be completed in a month, and the old man of the second master is crazy, fortunately, there is this caravan fat sheep..." This man named Zhou Laosan didn't expect that there was really a horse here.
"Who let the eagle claw grandchildren in Xuzhou City suddenly attack and kill the mountain some time ago, and all the belongings were lost, and the second boss actually killed all the girls in a fit of anger in order to vent his anger, it's a pity!" Recalling the snow-white belly, the cow who came here first said with big eyes full of emotion, and then changed the conversation and continued, "Why don't we take this horse back to the second master, it will be a great achievement, and what ideas to explore, this bird forest Lao Tzu doesn't want to drill anymore!" ”
"It's really a little family!" Zhou Laosan glanced at Niu Dayan with disdain, and said proudly, "We have a wire report, this caravan is very rich, gold and silver are soft, mules and horses are not to mention, those women are white and beautiful, I heard that there are some unmarried girls accompanying them, when the time comes..." Zhou Laosan said and laughed to himself, and Niu Dayan also laughed stupidly.
"Something is wrong!" Zhou Laosan, who was close to the horse, was suddenly startled, and took out the big knife on his waist and looked around vigilantly!
Niu Dayan was startled by Zhou Laosan, but the perennial knife licked blood, so he quickly raised the blunt knife that had opened the way to mow the grass before, seeing that the surroundings were silent, Niu Dayan, who was frightened, looked at Zhou Laosan with dissatisfaction, if it weren't for Zhou Laosan's kid who had some kung fu and a ruthless temperament, he would have kicked it up.
Zhou Laosan ignored Niu Dayan, with a cold face, he held a big knife and looked at the surrounding woods and walked over.
Han Yu, who was hiding in the shadows before, was also stunned, but he didn't expect that it was not a beast that came from the woods, but two big living people, Han Yu, who was going to appear, stopped because of Zhou Laosan's words, and then these two people were full of black words, such as the idea is the object, the enemy, the eagle claw Sun refers to the official army, and the other Han Yu is also half-understood, and these two people came all the way to split the weeds, the purpose is actually to keep an eye on the caravan, obviously ill-intentioned.
As the conversation between the two deepened, Han Yu got an important information, they were nearby bandits, they had already targeted the caravan, and they had also been surrounded and suppressed by the Ming army in Xuzhou, so Han Yu was sure that these two people were very dangerous, since the narrow road meeting was unavoidable, Han Yu took a deep breath and decided to take a risk, fortunately, the two did not find out about their existence, if they could successfully sneak attack and kill one, with the number of three arrows in the crossbow, they were sure to kill the remaining one.
It's just that I didn't expect that the burly strong man didn't know what he found from the mount, he suddenly became vigilant, and walked cautiously towards this side with a big knife, at this time the distance was not even twenty steps, although there was a dense forest to cover it, and the speed of the crossbow was also very fast, but it was not impossible to dodge, and in the face of the very vigilant thief Zhou Laosan, it was very likely that he would not be able to shoot with an arrow.
Han Yu, who lost the opportunity, quietly aimed his crossbow at Zhou Laosan, who was getting closer and closer, and could clearly see the side face of the other party, the most important thing was that Han Yu was not good at close combat, at this time he only had a crossbow in his hand, if another bandit over there rushed together, he would definitely not be an opponent with one enemy and two enemies, but just when Han Yu pulled the trigger, another thief suddenly walked out of the woods in the distance, which suddenly made Han Yu's heart cold.
Three thieves and three arrows, he can't make the slightest mistake, and judging from this scale, the number of bandits who come is by no means just these three people, once they are discovered, the consequences are unimaginable, glancing at Zhang Zhimo, who is also uneasy in his arms, Han Yu's confidence suddenly increased, and he must protect her no matter what.
The thief who had just come out of the woods was also scolding, and there was a burst of complaining emotion, and then he chatted with Niu Dayan, it seemed that the relationship between the two was good, and Zhou Laosan, who was full of vigilance, was also attracted by the visitor, and was about to inform them that there might be someone nearby, when suddenly an arrow whistled out, suddenly piercing his throat, the sharp tip protruded from the back of his neck, bringing out a large piece of blood, and the whimpering Zhou Laosan's eyes were round, and he fell to the ground with an unwilling face.
Zhou Laosan died suddenly, and suddenly Niu Dayan and the newly arrived bandit were stunned in place, but they were not chicks, they had hung their heads on their waists for many years, and they had long been accustomed to seeing life and death by licking blood on the knife edge, but they were stunned and quickly judged that there was only one person hiding not far away, and the two did not flee in panic, but rushed towards Han Yu's hiding place from both sides.
Seeing that it had been exposed, Han Yu pushed Zhang Zhimo in his arms to the side, and he rushed over towards the two thieves, "Hurry up!" Han Yu didn't have time to say more, seeing that the two bandits were already in front of him, he forcibly pressed the uneasiness in his heart, aimed at one of them and immediately pulled the crossbow mechanism, the long-term training really played a key role, and the whistling arrow did not enter the chest of the bandit who came here last.
The thief's original rush stopped, his eyes widened, and he looked at the arrow piercing into his chest in disbelief, and suddenly his pupils constricted, and the corpse fell to the ground with blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth, he really didn't expect this guy who suddenly appeared to shoot him so accurately.
Shooting one person again immediately boosted Han Yu's confidence, and he raised his hand to aim at the last bandit Niu Dayan, pulled the mechanism again, and the arrow suddenly roared out.
Niu Dayan saw that the two people who came with him were killed on the spot, and seeing that Han Yu's posture obviously had the strength to fight again, he wanted to turn around and flee in fright, but suddenly the arrow roared from the crossbow, Niu Dayan was suddenly frightened, and his face was colorless with fright, only to hear a muffled bang, and the arrow actually hit the blunt knife in his hand, and immediately bounced and pierced into the tree pole.
